OECD: Israel's classroom density 32% above average, teacher attrition high

An OECD report on education indicators across 38 countries finds Israeli primary and middle school classrooms are 32% more crowded than the average, and most teachers who leave the system resign within their first five years. The report also notes Israeli teachers are highly educated, teach more hours over fewer days, and that women earn more than men in the profession. This highlights structural challenges in Israel's education system, which may have long-term implications for human capital and economic competitiveness.
